Hello,
So I bought three used smart phones from eBay.
The phones just came this afternoon via EMS post office.

The office called me and said my items have arrived, but I am gonna pay #41,000 as custom duty.This means I am am average of 13,000 per phone.

This is ridiculously high for a country who does not produce a phone.

It's also very surprising that the phones are even old used phones that reigned in 2006.

Edited.

I just collected them.

1..Hp ipaq glisten,cost is w $48 and the duty I paid is #600.

2...Hp ipaq h6318,cost is $10 and the duty I paid is #300

3...Iphone 10,the cost is $450 and the duty I paid is a whopping #41,000

Yes they do.
That is why I use shoptomydoor and I avoid EXPRESS SHIPPING via DHL

Next time use DHL, although expensive but will save you the stress with customs charges. You don’t have to pay anything since the custom charges are included in the fees you pay and you get your items within 4 to 5 days

This is not true.... DHL also charges for custom duties

For orders from 1688.com, you can contact me via 07068357282.

I help people make orders through my agents who then ship the goods through any available shipping company that's located in Nigeria.

Very fast.. In 10 days you get your goods..

At most.. 14 days..
